Youth follows Tove after she is forced to leave school early, and has to embark on a string of unfulfilling low-paying jobs. All Tove wants is her life to start like her older brother’s, to leave home, find love, and most importantly, independence from her parents. The second volume is vulnerable, with small glimpses of humor and shows Copenhagen as it slid into War World II.
When the KKK arrives to help drive out the Vietnamese immigrants fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, an armed conflict begins that will be the beginning of the end of a community and a true test of American ideals.
LIke a fine-cut gem, this short novel tells the story of a brother and sister in Rome who are suddenly orphaned. Beautiful, tragic, surreal, A LITTLE LUMPEN NOVELITA is a great introduction to Bolaño.
Naga's experimental sophomore novel is filled with pithy yet sensual prose. This is an exploration of power, abuse, and the eternal question: who deserves to own the narrative? If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English is set on a knife's edge. It's a horrific kind of pleasure to watch the scales tip.
A searing analysis of antisemitism, including the radical argument that veneration of drastic history adds to the dehumanization rather than addressing it. Horn's book is also darkly funny amidst the rage. I can't stop thinking about this book.
Told through the endless letters of recommendation he writes, the book follows an English professor as he goes throughout a school year. You see his few successes and many failings. It's a quick read, full of wit and humor.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have the best job in the world? Shaun gives a peek into a year in the life of a secondhand bookshop owner in Scotland. The events, customers, technical problems, and seasonal income variances--he faces them all with humor and a pinch of snark. Maybe we could do an exchange program?
This book made me reconsider whether I should move to New York City and become a book editor. Nora and Charlie are rivals in the publishing world but find that they actually might make a good team. A love story that is also a love letter to older sisters and from the perspective of the girl who is usually left behind.
PS--It's a happy ending!

Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people –– the beauty within themselves.
